Who Is Your Hero?

icehog3 · 11-21-2008, 09:21 AM

My parents for all they taught me.

My Grandfather for helping me become the first college graduate in my family.

The Troops who put "Freedom Ain't Free" on the line every day.

Chris Chelios for proving that sometimes the old guys can still play.

I thought about this post for awhile before actually posting but its clear to me that my son "Cole" is becoming my hero.
While as a parent it was my job to influence right and wrong, every day he clearly shows that he was listening and that kid has the kindest heart that I know of.

My mom. Had me as an unwed mother in 1959 and my sister several years after that. Had to be hard to deal with especially back then. Sure do miss her sometimes.
Her parents. For loving her enough to give us a place to live with love. Miss them too.

All of those who have served our country. Their heroic actions over many battles I find inspiring and humbling at the same time.

Nice choice with Giuseppe Garibalidi. The 39th NY regiment in the Civil War was nicknamed the Garibalidi guards because they were comprised of Hungarian and Italian men. Most of the Italians had fought under Giuseppe in Italy.
